New Jewish Center for Mason
& West Chester!

Preschool Building Under Construction

Billed as “a Jewish educational and spiritual lighthouse for the thousands of Jewish families in the Mason / West Chester region,” The Jewish Discovery Center is soon to complete construction of its Center for Judaism in Mason. “This new center will allow us to expand our existing activities,” said Rochel Kalmanson, Director of Programming at The Jewish Discovery Center. “We will increase our offerings of educational, religious and social opportunities for all age groups within the community.”

Responding to the requests of the community and recognizing that the Jewish community living in the suburbs have expressed the need for a center for a convenient for Jewish life, a committee of dedicated Jewish community leaders joined forces to make the new center for the Mason region Jewish community a reality. Acknowledging that a convenient location is a high priority for the busy, young Jewish families in the area, the Jewish Discovery Center's building committee is pioneer the first and only full-service center for the Jewish community in the Mason / West Chester region.

"Embracing the millennia-old traditions of Judaism with a welcoming and modern approach, The Jewish Discovery Center’s underlying principle is unquestioning acceptance and genuine love for every Jewish individual, regardless of affiliation or how they practice, will now be brought to this region,” says Barry Bortz, CEO of Carespring Construction, who is coordnating the building construction.

Unconscious Joy

A simple way to open up the potential that lies beyond the conscious self is with joy. With unbounded joy it is possible to reach the unbounded self.

	The Parshah In a Nutshell

Parshat Matot-Massei

Moses conveys the laws governing the annulment of vows to the heads of the tribes of Israel. War is waged against Midian for their role in plotting the moral destruction of Israel, and the Torah gives a detailed account of the war spoils and how they were allocated amongst the people, the warriors, the Levites and the High Priest.

The tribes of Reuben and Gad (later joined by half of the tribe of Menasseh) ask for the lands east of the Jordan as their portion in the Promised Land, these being prime pastureland for their cattle. Moses is initially angered by the request, but subsequently agrees on the condition that they first join, and lead, in Israel's conquest of the lands west of the Jordan.

The forty-two journeys and encampments of Israel are listed, from the Exodus to their encampment on the plains of Moab across the river from the Land of Canaan. The boundaries of the Promised Land are given, and cities of refuge are designated as havens and places of exile for inadvertent murderers. The daughters of Tzelafchad marry within their own tribe of Menasseh, so that the estate which they inherit from their father should not pass to the province of another tribe.
